$OEM$ Folders
(Windows Pre-Activation)
Overview
-
To create a pre-activated Windows installation .iso, do the following things:
-
Extract
$OEM$
folder to the desktop using the MAS script. -
Copy the
$OEM$
folder to thesources
folder in the Windows installation media (.iso or USB). -
The directory will appear like this:
\sources\$OEM$
in your altered .iso or on your bootable USB drive. -
Now use this .iso or bootable USB drive to install Windows and it will either already be activated (KMS38) as soon as it boots or will self-activate (HWID or Online KMS) at the first internet contact.
-
You can check here about activation method details and select the activation method as per your requirement.
-
On Windows 8 and later, running setupcomplete.cmd is disabled if the default installed key for the edition is OEM Channel. For example - Preactivation won't work for Windows 10 Iot Enterprise because installed key is of OEM channel.
KMS38 - Server Cor/Acor
-
Windows Server Cor/Acor (No GUI) editions don't have
clipup.exe
file. -
To KMS38 activate it, you need to download
ClipUp.exe
file from this link.
File: ClipUp.exe
SHA-256: 0d6e9f6bbd0321eda149658d96040cb4f79e0bd93ba60061f25b28fecbf4d4ef
This file has digital signatures which can be verified. You can also get this file from official Windows Server 2016 x64 RTM ISO. -
Put the
ClipUp.exe
beside the KMS38 Activation script. That would be eitherMAS_AIO.cmd
orKMS38_Activation.cmd
-
Activation script will check
ClipUp.exe
in the current folder (from where script is running) and will use it accordingly.
